I have fallen in love with this pizza and it’ll be a regular part of my repertoire this summer! The combination of salty cheese, sweet pear and earthy new potatoes with chives is to die for and ticks all my boxes. Serve with rocket and some artichoke hummus on the side.
Method
For the pizza sauce make a simple roux by melting butter and gently sautéing the shallot. Then add in flour, stirring until smooth. Slacken with cream and milk and stir in the parmesan until smooth and velvety. Season to taste and set to one side to cool.
Preheat your pizza oven to 375˚C and move your fire to one side. Roll out your dough and place it onto a peel with polenta.
Spread your white sauce on your pizza and then top with potato tossed in chives with pear, capers and goat’s cheese.
Bake for 2-3 mins turning regularly. Drizzle with white truffle oil or some herb oil before serving and a generous handful of wild rocket.
